Abstract
This chapter provides an insight into how one family managed the challenges their son faced going through school. Identified with Autism at aged six years, Ben has experienced a range of transitions throughout his school life in inclusive classrooms and programs. One of the most challenging was the transition from primary into secondary school. Now in his final year of secondary schooling, the chapter explores Ben's educational experiences, family reflections on schooling, and post school opportunities.
